flag Indian malls attract $3.5B in investment as demand rises, but outdated malls struggle.

flag Indian malls are poised to attract $3.5 billion in investment over the next three years, fueled by strong demand, high occupancy rates, and limited quality supply. flag Despite over 600 operational malls, fewer than 100 meet institutional standards, with Grade-A properties at 95–100% occupancy and leasing activity up 70% year-over-year. flag Low e-commerce penetration (8%), rising incomes, and high footfalls—driven by entertainment and dining—make physical retail resilient. flag Global brands are entering, and retail REITs are emerging, offering returns of 14–18%, nearly double Western markets. flag However, a growing number of underperforming "ghost malls" in cities like Gurugram highlight a divide between well-managed centers and outdated, poorly planned properties.
